Description
The #1 New York Times bestseller and “compulsive page-turner” (The Atlanta Journal-Constitution) about a reluctant clairvoyant man who must weigh his options when he suddenly sees the terrible future awaiting mankind—from master storyteller Stephen King.
When Johnny Smith was six years old, head trauma caused by a bad ice-skating accident left him with a nasty bruise on his forehead and, from time to time, those hunches…infrequent but accurate snippets of things to come. But it isn’t until Johnny’s a grown man—now having survived a horrifying auto injury that plunged him into a coma lasting four-and-a-half years—that his special abilities really push to the fore. Johnny Smith comes back from the void with an extraordinary gift that becomes his life’s curse…presenting visions of what was and what will be for the innocent and guilty alike. But when he encounters a ruthlessly ambitious and amoral man who promises a terrifying fate for all humanity, Johnny must find a way to prevent a harrowing predestination from becoming reality.

5By jhayes2021Excellent story. Fast paced, scary, thrilling, emotional, one of Kings best!The Dead Zone is riveting and prescient.
5By CraigdarinI saw the 1983 movie first. Had never had occasion to read the book until I heard Steven King compare the book’s antagonist, Greg Stillson, to Donald Trump when giving an interview. I remembered from the movie how true the comparison was but wanted to now read the book—a book examines and provides more insight into its characters than a movie can ever do. The foreshadowing of Trump in the character of Stillson is amazing. Donald Trump is the real-life Greg Stillson, and Steven King predicted his coming in this novel, The Dead Zone. The book is riveting. You can’t put it down. Bravo, Mr. King. You are a genius writer.Dead Zone
5By Thorn2003Awesome read!A terrifying journey into The Dead Zone!
5By ES the horror fanI’ve, of course, never read this book as an ebook, only as a print book. However you want to read it, on your phone or on the printed page, this is a terrific book from the imagination of Stephen King! While I disagree with any reviewers who claim that horror fans wouldn’t really enjoy this book, I 💯 agree with all who claim that it’s an enjoyable, emotional, thought-provoking drama. This enthralling book makes readers really stop and think about what it might be like to have such extraordinary psychic powers while using the subject to tell an eerie, occasionally terrifying, tale of suspense and horror. While it’s nowhere near King’s most critically acclaimed book, it’s a great read that I think all of his fans will enjoy! It will always be a favorite of mine!
